December Community Bulletin

Dear Checkmk Community,

It’s time again for our monthly community bulletin where we recognize our community members and share some updates relevant to the Checkmk community. Can’t believe we’re already at the end of the year; this will be our last community bulletin for 2020! :open_mouth:

:newspaper: Community Updates

Beta Release

In case you missed it, the 2.0 beta was released last week. This is available for all Checkmk editions. More information here.

Your help is needed again: Please leave a review about Checkmk

We are glad that so many of you are vocal about their experience with Checkmk and provide us with valuable feedback. You might remember that early this year we at tribe29 asked for your support in sharing what you think about Checkmk in Capterra, and we’re very thankful that many people helped out!

We hope you can support Checkmk again by leaving a review on other rating platforms. Your review can really help other IT admins know if Checkmk suits their needs. Below is the list of new/other rating platforms we are in:

  • TrustRadius
  • AlternativeTo
  • Checkmk on Stackshare. In case you are active on Stackshare, you can now add Checkmk as a tool to your stack and tell why you made the decision to use Checkmk. You can also speak about the advantages of Checkmk by pointing out ‘Pros of Checkmk’:
  • G2
  • GetApp

We hope you can show your support for Checkmk in any of those platforms!

Introducing translate.checkmk.com

We have recently launched our localization program, where we aim to make Checkmk available in different languages. Read more about it here. Thanks to everyone who already started translating and requested for their language to be added!

Note: You can also subscribe to the monthly Checkmk newsletter for news like this and more, straight to your e-mail inbox.

Share what you think about the Checkmk Community

It has been a year since we have launched the Checkmk forum, and we have tried a couple of things to improve how tribe29 engages with you as part of our community. We want to do more for you next year. Please help us know you better by sharing your opinion in this survey.
